cStick not recognized even though it work in config screen

DS3 v 0.7.0000
PS3 dualshock controller

Issue is the c-stick will not work in games. I setup following the tutorial and checked the post on configuring as well but no luck. In the controller mapping area for Gamecube, I can set the right stick up and even see action in the little box below if I wiggle it so it is registering. It just is inoperable in the game.

No problem with the left analog stick (nor any button mapping) at all though. I tried using the DX (directx) and Xinput (xbox) profiles in DS3 tool but exact same results, everything works but the c-stick controls.

You're using an out of date version of Dolphin; try using the latest revisions at http://dolphin-emu.org/download. It may help with the issue.

If it doesn't, please tell us which games you're trying to play and post a screenshot of your GCpad configuration.

Here are my controller settings in Dolphin. I was using Metroid Prime 2 and Pikmin to test. Everything was good but no C-stick controls. No problems with left analog for movement.

You're still not using the latest revision. The latest is 3.5-1559 as of this writing.

You should ditch MotionInJoy:

I'll try the SCP as the DS3 gets annoying by dropping off if inactive for more than a minute or two and them you may have to manually enable in the program. I loaded the most up to date version of Dolphin per your link.

I actually realized that the cstick is working, somewhat. I used the keyboard for controls to see if DS3 was part of the problem and in doing so I came up with mixed results.
I also was not familiar with the controls of Pikmin as I never played it before. So, the DS3 is working, I just did not get far enough in the game to where the CStick is actually used.

It doesn't work in Metroid Prime 2 while playing but it does work to rotate the map around when you pause the game oddly enough. Keyboard controls have the same exact reaction. So this is either a Dolphin issue or I need a patch to the game ISO.

In Metroid Prime 2, I think you only use the C-Stick to switch between different beams (maybe some other things as well like the map). It isn't used like other FPS games where the C-Stick moves the view left/right and up/down. How far are you into the game? Do you have Dark or Light beams to switch around? You can always download a completed save from GameFAQs as a .GCI and then import it into your emulated memory card file; that way you can test it without having to play the whole game.

You might be right. I will test.

Thanks for the help. The SCP drivers are awesome and make using the controllers as smooth as butter.
